re: #824 Pianobuff

Vis a vis the emboldened text, I would go further and say that they need to present a strong alternative to the package. If somehow an alternative reform package went in through the R’s and Blue Dogs and actually got passed and signed, that would be a win too.

Romney could help here. The Massachusetts system has been more expensive than expected but hasn’t been the disaster Obamacare will be. In states where health care costs are more reasonable than Mass, it probably would work.
And he’d position himself well for 2012.
Even if his plan fails to pass, by 2012 when people see what a disaster Obamacare is, he’ll look good.
